The Metropolitan Police faces a loss in funding of £200 million over the next six years, according to the Association of London Government.

Changes to the distribution formula for funding have already led to a cut of £66m for policing in the capital and the loss of 300 officers, said the ALG. The association met with police chiefs this week to raise its concerns.
